And all that there grammar Stuff...
Just recently i have posted about my excessive bad use of Grammar and spelling and.....stuff. So as a tribute to every bad grammatical mistake i have ever made...and to that grammar nazi also known as Father Jason, i give you a short essay on Grammar rules
grammar Rules
Don't use no double negatives.Don't never use no triple negatives. No sentence fragments Corollary: Complete sentences: important.Stamp out and eliminate redundancy.Avoid cliches like the plague. All generalizations are bad. Corollary: All statements must be specific. Never listen to advice. Take care that your verb and subject is in agreement. A preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence with. Down with categorical imperatives. Avoid those run-on sentences that just go on, and on, and on, they never stop,they just keep rambling, and you really wish the person would just shut up, butno, they just keep going, they're worse than the Energizer Bunny, they babbleincessantly, and these sentences, they just never stop, they go on forever...ifyou get my drift...Never contradict yourself always. You should never use the second person. When dangling, watch your participles. Never go off on tangents, which are lines that intersect a curve at only onepoint and were discovered by Euclid, who lived in the sixth century, which wasan era dominated by the Goths, who lived in what we now know as Poland...As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "I hate quotations."Excessive use of exclamation points can be disastrous!!!!!Remember to end each sentence with a periodDon't use commas, which aren't necessary. Don't use question marks inappropriately? Don't be terse. Don't obfuscate your theses with extraneous verbiage. Never use that totally cool, radically groovy out-of-date slang. Avoid tumbling off the cliff of triteness into the black abyss of overusedmetaphors.Keep your ear to the grindstone, your nose to the ground, take the bull bythe horns of a dilemma, and stop mixing your metaphors. Avoid those abysmally horrible, outrageously repellent exaggerations. Avoid any awful anachronistic aggravating antediluvian alliterations.
thank you
